#like I want to continue my rewatch of ST

[lunabug2004]

Does anyone else experience wanting to do/watch a thousand different things at once but when you do/watch one of those things all you can think about is the other things? Is that just me? Am I crazy?

[gunilslaugh]

Hiii, i know you’re not doing requests, but can you do this when you are? I just finished rewatching bring it on and I was wondering what it’d be like if Y/n was a cheerleader for (any xh member) football player. Just take this thought and make art with it <3

-🫧

Here it is 🫧! I know you've been waiting a long time for it, so I hope that you like it :)

Goo Gunil Summary: Gunil was a football player and you were a cheerleader. For rival schools. WC:~1.2k Warning:none

photo not mine credits to owner.

“Y/n be sure to cheer for our team at tonight's game,” your friend teased you as you guys were packing up after practice. 

“Who else would I cheer for if not our team?” You shook your pom pom lightly before putting it into your bag. 

“Their quarterback.” Your friend gave you a playful back. 

“It’s not my fault that library boy turned out to be their school’s quarterback,” you say, swinging your bag over your shoulder. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Library boy, alternatively known as your crush. You first met him at the local library. You wanted a book that was just out of your reach on an upper shelf. While you were struggling to reach it a sudden warmth appeared behind you and you saw an arm reaching above yours, grabbing the book that you wanted. 

“This the one you wanted?” the guy checks, sticking the book out to you.

“Yes, thank you.” Your cheeks flushed a light shade of pink as you took the book from him.

“You have good taste. I like that book,” he comments. 

“I haven’t read it before, but I like books of this genre,” you said. 

“You should like it then. It’s good.” 

“I’ll take your word for it.” With that the two of you parted ways. Your eyes followed him as he made his own way over to a table, taking a seat. You looked down to the book in your hands and smiled. You couldn’t wait to find out if it was as good as the cute guy said.

You continued to take trips to the library with hopes of seeing him again and pleasantly enough you did keep seeing him. He was more than happy to talk to you about the book you checked out last time. He wanted to know if you enjoyed it as much as he did. 

With time the two of you started talking more. Exchanging book recommendations and reading together in the library. 

To say that you were shocked when you saw library boy standing on the other side of the field, wearing your rival school’s football uniform was an understatement. 

“What’s with that face?” your friend asked you. 

“Remember library boy?” you say. Your friend follows your eyes to where you’re looking on the other side of the field. 

“Don’t tell me,” they said. 

“Number 19.” you pointed. Your friend bursts out laughing. 

“What are you gonna do now?” they questioned. 

“I don’t know,” you say, continuing to stare across the field. 

“Y/n is betraying us,” your friend played.

“I am not! It’s not that serious anyway,” you argued. 

“Then go talk to him.” They push you lightly. 

“I can’t, not before the game,” you resisted. 

“You’re right, that wouldn’t make either of you look good. Conversing with the enemy.” Your friend continues to tease you.

Gunil was equally surprised to see you standing on the other side of the field wearing the rival school’s colors on your cheerleading uniform. 

“Dude why do you seem out of it? We’re about to play, focus,” Gunil’s teammate, Seungmin, tells him. 

“I am, it’s just-nothing I’m fine,” Gunil replies, grabbing his helmet. 

“If you’re fine, why have you been staring at our rivals for the past couple of minutes?” Jiseok chimed in. Gunil sighed. 

“You remember that girl I told you about? From the library,” he said. 

“No way! Does she go to our rival school? Where?” Jiseok interrogated looking around. 

“There, putting a bow in their friend’s hair,” Gunil pointed you out. 

“So you’ve been crushing on our rival this entire time, traitor,” Seungmin teased. 

“I’m not a traitor! It’s not like I knew,” Gunil defended. 

“Now that you know?” Seungmin challenged. 

“I still like them. It’s not that serious anyway,” Gunil states. 

“As long as you don’t lose on purpose,” Jiseok notes, making Gunil glare at him. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“You haven’t come to the library for a while. Are you avoiding me?” Gunil came sitting across from you at a table.

“Why would I be avoiding you?” You closed your book to look at him. 

“Cause I’m the quarterback of your rival school’s football team,” he says. 

“And I’m a cheerleader for your rivals, but let’s be real it’s not that serious. I’ve just been busy with cheer practice since we’re getting closer to championships,” you explained. 

“Good, I was a little scared you were actually avoiding me,” Gunil admits. 

“Because we’re rivals?” you chuckled. 

“I know it sounds kinda silly, but yeah,” he answers. 

“Wanna know a secret?” You leaned closer over the table. 

“What?” he asked, leaning in.

“I know a couple people from my school who are dating people that go to yours,” you whispered. 

“Are any of them a football player and cheerleader though?” he quipped. 

“So maybe we’d be the most scandalous couple,” you say.

“But we’re not a couple yet,” Gunil gives you a cheeky smile. 

“Then we’re not scandalous at all,” you smiled back.

“I’ll ask you after we win against your school,” he proclaims. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“No it’s not, but doesn’t this game decide if he’ll ask you out or not?” your friend asked. 

“He did say he’d ask me out when he beats our school but…” you trailed off. 

“But?” your friend inquired. 

“If our school wins, I’ll ask him out,” you tell your friend. 

“No way! Are you serious? Will you do it in front of everyone?” Your friend shook your arm violently.

“Maybe?” you shrugged. 

Once you arrived at the field your eyes naturally traveled across to the other side to look for Gunil. A smile appeared on your face once you saw him with his teammates warming up. Gunil happened to look over, catching you staring. You lifted your hand and waved at him. He happily waved back. 

“Waving to the enemy in broad daylight?” One of your cheermates came over to you. 

“Please, she's planning on asking him out if we win.” Your friend came up. 

“Seriously? What if they win?” they asked. 

“Then he’s going to ask her out,” your friend answers. 

“You guys made some type of deal or what?” your teammate asked. 

“No, he doesn’t know I’ll ask him if we win,” you disclose. “Oh I’m so invested in this,” they say. 

“Forget it. We should warm up,” you state. 

It was a close game, but in the end your team won by two points. While your school was busy celebrating you started to make your way over to the other side of the field. 

“Go get your man!” your friend called after you. Your walk across to the opponent's side of the field definitely did catch some people’s attention and bring questions about what you were doing. Gunil was one of them. 

“Y/n, what are you doing?” he questioned once you reached him. You pulled out a sign that you were carrying behind your back. “Be my boyfriend?” the sign read. 

“Be my boyfriend?” you asked. Gunil laughs happily. 

“I was supposed to ask you,” he says. 

“But my school won, soI’ll ask you instead.” You lifted the sign up a bit, gesturing for him to answer. 

“Yes, I’ll be your boyfriend,” he answered. You dropped the sign down to the ground and threw your arms around him in a hug. 

“He said yes!” his teammate, Jiseok, yelled. You feel your face heat up as Gunil’s group begins to cheer for you two. Gunil picks you up and spins you around.

“Sorry that you didn’t win,” you say as you and Gunil are heading out together. 

“It’s ok. I won something much better,” he tells you, interlacing your hand with his, giving it a squeeze.

2025 rp resolutions

things i'll continue doing/start doing it more:

commenting on all your posts

sending nonsensical unprompted asks

adding/rotating more female muses within my roster

finishing threads (?) LMAO

message people with headcanons and impromptu AU ideas

asking for ships jdskdj i'm so laid back in the sense that i wanna see if there's chemistry and i'm okay with feeling things out. but then i get in the mood to send ship-centric memes and i don't have people to harass /j

2025 rp wishlist

not a plot wish, but this is a reminder to me that i want to take bones off as a private muse and put him in threads with new muses. i will conquer the self-consciousness!

i'd love more lower decks threads, like all of them. i actively fall to my knees and have emotional outbursts over them once a day. i can always toss mariner into a time portal to meet with other ST universes

cyberpunk AUs? not named after the game but i'd be stoked to worldbuild a general cyber dystopian world with people. @criticalfai1ure i'm still very much going to still bug you about leland

let clara pick your muse up as a companion for her space travels. it's only slightly dangerous for you, and lethal to everybody else!

i really want to get gillian up and running. if not for her ST verse, i will make any AU for her to complete the OC-ification process of a minor canon character

shamelessly plugging the need for more twelve/clara and six/peri threads. you all know who you are. let us run a human nature arc and stir up chaos

still very much down for anything thriller/serial k.iller centric. i just rewatched all the Screams and started watching Dexter again

[faeleven]

7B - which had good ideas but suffered because Moff was too busy with the anniversary to edit - managed the revelation that the companion the Doctor believed was supernatural was actually an ordinary woman much much better, because the narrative was constantly pointing out that the Doctor’s fixation was both incorrect and unfair to Clara.

This was more like if Neville was revealed at the end to be the chosen one after following Harry Potter for seven books. You can’t lead the viewers to a conclusion, pull the rug from under them and then laugh at them for not getting it when they were never provided the dots to join.

happened to see this ask right after rewatching the bells of st john but yes exactly! 7b wasn't moffat's best work but he clearly had the conclusion planned out from the start and that was reflected in how the narrative treated clara and the doctor, whereas rtd was setting up something totally different from what he ended up doing. with clara, the doctor (and the audience to an extent) go in thinking she's some crazy, weird, impossible thing, but in 7b itself all the signs continually point to her being an ordinary human and the doctor just ignores that because of his fixation on her "mystery". the exact opposite of s14 where no one thought ruby was anything but human until RTD started surrounding her with weirdness and specifically drawing attention to it. the message he's sending to fans is "don't try to analyze my writing or predict* where I'm going with things, because I don't care about thematic consistency and will just pull plot points out of thin air"

*caveat that I don't necessarily think a twist should be predictable, but I do think that looking back after everything is revealed, you should be able to feel that it was done with intention and not by spinning a wheel.

it's hard to have any real analysis of this series because it doesn't have that sense of being crafted intentionally. some episodes in it were good, but as a whole it's incoherent. any discussion of its themes or ruby's character is necessarily either extremely shallow or driven by fan theories that have taken what little the writing gave us and run with it.

RTD says he wants to provoke reactions, and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, but I do think he's going about it all wrong. if he made something that had genuine depth and was thought-provoking, fan discussion would naturally follow AND would keep going for a long time. instead he's chosen to chase after moment-to-moment shock value and soundbite reactions, and as a result I don't see this new version of doctor who having much lasting popularity.

rewatched 1x02 of the vampire show

continuing my theory about there being a background line that establishes the episode thesis relatively early on: there isn't a line that stands out to me, so maybe that was a dumb idea! but i think the boring, awkward little anecdote the salesman tells is interesting; the broken-down horse, the shiny new tractor; the shining golden frontier palomino, the creep of capital-intensive farming that turned the prairie into a dust bowl. i'm not insisting that the show writers were like 'and then everyone will vaguely recall that one chapter about tractors from the grapes of wrath, which they read in the ninth grade,' i'm just saying that's what i thought about: this guy's daughter & his job & his weak sales pitch, replacing something beautiful & fragile with something powerful & new & unalive

i like when they're coming back from the cemetery & louis is wearing lestat's caped greatcoat. when we first see lestat from behind in 1x01, he's standing under a streetlight in his old-fashioned overcoat, serving dracula; now louis is transformed, & he's wearing it. nice detail

lestat has a much more compelling sales pitch. 'you alone beneath the rising moon can strike like the hand of god' okay man you can just say you want him to top. well, i guess he kind of did. but it is an articulation of what vampirism is to lestat, & i think it's interesting! lestat is saying, 'death is beautiful, our purpose is to witness it,' and louis is like 'that is murder you are insane,' because that is not his particular brand of unhinged protagonism. anyway thinking about the idea of beauty for beauty's sake, nina auerbach's observation that the referent for dracula was oscar wilde in the dock

i love watching louis eat the lawyer. i mean murder is wrong. i love watching louis eat the lawyer. i love his cream suit. i love his angry little hiss. i love jacob anderson's shoulders. i love how he says "subject verb agreement sir." i love watching louis eat the lawyer

i remain a little skeptical of louis' narration, perhaps unjustly. in 1x01 he says 'i was being hunted, and i had absolutely no idea,' but he must've had some idea that lestat pursued him? if lestat was following him around all the time & staring at him like that & having wild powers & so on? is there not some model here where louis liked being the object of lestat's desire, even though he clearly did not want or consent to all parts of that desire? i don't think this diminishes the harm lestat did to louis, obviously, & it makes me sad to imagine that louis might

cf. louis & the theater: in 1x01, he tells his family he fell asleep, but lestat says otherwise; in 1x02, lestat invites him to the opera, he rolls his eyes, and then looks enraptured once he's there. 'he had a way about him,' but louis is just faking it with the tenor; okay, but i don't believe you, louis! you are staring intently at the tenor with a look of wonder on your face! i think he saw the appeal & rejected it, which is more interesting anyway but is worse if you believe in Thought Crimes (are catholic)

off-topic but i read part of a fic where louis is reading paradise lost, which the author seemed to believe is a catholic text? which is sufficiently incorrect to be comical. but please consider how much fun one could have with st. augustine's confessions: not only does it have that very famous part about stealing for the sake of stealing, which i think is very much how louis thinks of lestat, it is also sort of an origin point for western memoir. does louis imagine his interview as a sort of confession? he has to, right? at what point do we think daniel figures out that louis has called him here to shrive his soul lmao

[joshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

I'm not too long out from my screening of Sonic 3 (for reference it's 3pm rn and my screening is at 7pm) so decided I'd just sort of hash out some final pre-release thoughts. I'm looking forward to this one! Quite a lot!

It's been long enough since the first and second movies released to where I don't remember my pre-release thoughts on those quite as well anymore but I mean I was definitely dreading the first one and then the second one was a full on cautious optimism type approach. Of course the first movie I was right to not be anticipating but the second movie surprised me and I came away really glad. I've since rewatched it and found I didn't like it as much the second time around, and of course since then we also had the Knuckles series which, for as hilarious as I found it, didn't exactly inspire confidence. But everything in the leadup to movie 3 has been a lot more exciting I feel and as we approach the proper release date and tons of like popular Sonictubers and streamers and whatnot have gone to the premiere and come out the other end loving the movie, promising that it's easily the best one, Fadel saying those final 30 minutes were like the best of his life or whatever, review scores clear the first 2 movies, I'm hype, I'm going in with high expectations.

I'll also say I'm fortunate in that the literal day before movie 2 came out I was spoiled on Super Sonic as well as Shadow's post-credits tease but so far I should be going into Sonic 3 unspoiled apart from what's in the two main trailers as well as, uh, well. Some toys have already released featuring a certain something lol. But hey I mean we sort of expected that, so that's cool. Don't know post-credits teaser(s?) at all and I'm gonna probably be off of tumblr and twitter and careful on youtube for the rest of the day so I'm feeling good about my odds.

We have already learned that Sonic movie 4 is gonna be entering production with an expected release date of 2027, and yeah I mean no surprise there. First 2 did great and this 3rd one is projected to do great, they weren't gonna stop making more of a successful thing. Absolutely have my problems with the "Sonic Cinematic Universe" including just that term itself, but I really am glad they're a thing because they've rejuvenated public interest in Sonic in such a huge way and I don't think any of the amazing titles we've had since then would've come out as good as they had been without them. Shadow Generations alone justifies the existence of all 3 of these movies. I can only hope they'll continue to see success and thusly we'll get better games with better storytelling and more of an inclusion of the supporting cast to go alongside this.

I'm not really worried about how movie 3 is gonna be as a whole but on a more individual level I do hope some of the comedic dialogue is toned down in frequence, I can only take so many pop culture references a minute before I explode. "Konnichi-whaaaaaaaaaaat?" better have been just a trailer line because I don't want to hear that in the cinema. Obviously I'm expecting the movie to mostly be about Sonic and Shadow with a sort of Gerald and Eggman second place, but I hope Knuckles and especially Tails aren't too sidelined to achieve that, cause Tails has had a rather poor showing in the SCU as it were and I think he deserves more.

I guess my one other thing is that my main hope for the movie (other than "it's good" and "they do Shadow right" and "they don't do the things I'm worried about") is that we do actually spend a fair amount of time in the London and Tokyo parts of the movie. I'm not actually desperate for this to be the case like I wouldn't be disappointed necessarily but everyone loves place Japan and London is close enough to me to feel familiar and so spending a fair amount of time in both would be like a point at the screen and go woo moment for me. Or something.

No matter what I feel coming out the other end of this movie I am still gonna wish we got like really stylised animated movies instead of this live action CGI blend that Hollywood loves, truly being more faithful to the games and their worlds and the series' musical history especially would be very much preferable to me, but also it is what it is. We're 3 movies and a TV series and a confirmed 4th movie deep, I can move on, this is just what the Sonic movies are gonna be. I'll talk hopes for the 4th one sometime down the line, presumably after I've seen 3 lol.

Think that's everything I really wanted to say. I'm not anywhere near needing to leave yet so I'm gonna do some other stuff today first and whatnot, but hey, see you guys on the other side.

Rebels Rewatch: "The Future of the Force"

Adventures in babysitting, Rebels edition!

You already know what I'm going to say, I never get tired of the pretty planets in this show.

This baby is named Alora, a bit of a Shout Out to Lucasfilm's underground cult classic Willow. No I have not watched the new show I have... not heard good things.

That it's Alora's grandmother that's the one traveling with her brings up some ah... disturbing Fridge Horror regarding her parents.

My theory: They 100% dead, Inquisitors already shanked them.

Ohhhhh you can tell from the horror in grandma's eyes she knows exactly why they want the baby.

Well nice to know Seventh Sister is equal opportunity Bad Touch.

Aaaaaaand there goes Fifth, murdering all the witnesses.

Zero fanfare, just to punctuate the horror of that moment.

After five episodes of doing other stuff offscreen, Ahsoka finally decides to pay the main narrative a visit. I did and do still appreciate that the writers kept Ahsoka to a minimum, like Vader, knowing full well her presence would overshadow and overpower the others. Despite how easy it would have been to fanservice TCW carryover watchers by giving her tons of screentime, she stays mostly as a tertiary character throughout.

Which is why cramming what is essentially the Rebels sequel material into a show where she's the headliner annoys me.

Ahsoka and Kanan quipping about how neither of them are technically real Jedi is both cute and sad.

Ahsoka still deeply in denial about what she sensed when scanning Vader.

Lol this whole moment. Love Ahsoka's fond little headshake.

Love this city design, got a very St. Basil's Cathedral in Russia aesthetic to it.

Some of that influence in the music here too.

Oh wow, Zeb jumps out of the Phantom before it's even finished landing, lolol what a drama queen.

Bit sloppy to leave the transport hanging in that planet's airspace, unless the Empire plans to blow it up later.

Even without showing any of the bodies you know everyone on that transport is pretty much dead. It's really only the limits of the rating that prevent us from actually seeing them.

Grandma looks a lot paler here, I don't think she survives much longer past this point.

I talked about it before in "Always Two There Are" but I love subtle little bits of continuity like this, Zeb learning binary in order to understand Chopper, since he had such a hard time before.

THIS HITS A BIT DIFFERENT WHEN YOU'RE A PARENT.

All I'm thinking is, "How long have they left that poor baby there?! Oh gosh she must be so hungry. Is there AC in there? Did they change her? I bet they didn't even change her, the bastards."

This whole episode reminds me SO strongly of the arc in TCW when Sidious contracted Cad Bane to steal Force Sensitive children for him. Would not be surprised if they were being used for the exact same purpose.

Is it me or do a LOT of Force Sensitive children seem to be born to impoverished single mothers? I wonder if it's a deliberate narrative choice sometimes, to lean into the adoption metaphor that being given up to and raised by the Jedi Order often is.

He's so empathetic Imma cry.

Chopper's actually doing a decent job of keeping Alora happy lol.

Lol, Zeb being grossed out by the Ithorian baby.

I think he's adorable, personally.

Maybe it's the mom in me but Zeb holding Pypey is just... super cute.

He's actually holding him mostly right, giving him plenty of support.

Pypey is just sensitive enough to recognize the danger the Inquisitors pose to him. :(((((((((

A very fragmented "Shenanigans" cue here, barely more than a few notes. Almost as if the danger is stifling the fun and whimsy that leitmotif usually signifies.

It's Ezra that recognizes the ID9 Seeker and makes Kanan stop, and they move in a very nice synchronized way to hide from it here.

Underrated Papa Wolf Kanan moment: Kanan yanking Ezra back from the hallway junction just before the Inquisitors get within eyeline.

I shouldn't laugh but this whole scene with Zeb and Kanan and Ezra having no clue how to calm Pypey is so relatable.

(Babies be temperamental and sometimes you just gotta hold 'em.)

There are so many little cute background moments of Ezra snuggling Pypey or making faces at Pypey aaaah they're so cute.

The detonator Zeb dropped gets flung back at them, Fifth's doing no doubt.

Kanan keeps putting his hand on Ezra's back on the stairs, it's sweet.

Fifth and Seventh sniping at each other lol.

Here's one of the moments of background Ezra being adorable with the baby.

<333333

Ezra gets agitated when Kanan suggests he's going to be luring the Inquisitors away, ouch, poor boy's still not over the thing in "Call To Action".

Friiiiiick Ezra sensing Pypey's fear and Pypey sensing Ezra's and them stuck in a cyclical loop. :((((((

I too ramble at my infants like this. Lol.

Ezra unlocks the secret to calming babies: Being calm yourself. <3

Obligatory "Seventh's voice actress is married to Kanan's voice actor" mention.

The smoke effects on this show continue to be excellent.

Someone, I think it was @pep-no, theorized that Pypey's special ability in the Force might be compelling honesty. That or connecting with Pypey made Ezra more emotionally open, because he normally would be smarter than to blurt out where the Rebellion is hiding in a spot where he suspects Seventh's seekers might be listening.

(Then again, Ezra tends not to have any kind of filter around people he trusts.)

I definitely think there's room for that interpretation, given Ezra's floating, distracted gaze.

Kanan does really well in his brief clash with Seventh.

Zeb hauling him like a piece of luggage is still funny tho.

I love this environment. Feels very downtown LA.

A very heroic muted trumpet version of Ezra's theme as he steps forward bravely here.

<333333

Protective little badass.

Also love Pypey being entranced with the lightsaber and trying to touch it. Baby no.

I love this cue. I haven't watched enough Clone Wars to discern if it's a carryover theme but it's awesome.

Ezra's confidence in Aunt Ahsoka. <333

*grumbles* Stupid auto anti-epilepsy features, it makes it so hard to see properly here.

I do like how effortlessly Ahsoka deals with the Inquisitors here.

<33333

Chopper spinning the babies, awww.

Love how the ID9 comes to perch on Seventh's palm, it's so weird and animal-like. Like she's holding a jellyfish.

Ciffhanger reveal DUN DUN DUN.

This episode is so cute. It doesn't really effect much, besides emphasizing how dangerous a world it is that new Force Senstives are being born into (even moreseo than when there was a Jedi Order to take them in and shelter and protect them) and leading into the next episode's plot but it's a fun little romp with our characters and I just find it sweet and heartwarming.

Which we needed before the next episode's plot-heavy-ness.

[wheelercore]

Some more concrete thoughts on Steve's advice to Robin, the triangle mirror in Nancy's ballerina box, Tammy Thompson rosemary imagery, and how this all connects to Rose Robin?? i.e I actually bothered to rewatch some scenes from s4 and I'm Noticing Things.

First of all, I just want to point out- I do believe Brenda's earrings are triangle mirrors. As you can see, these two shots have just a few moments between each other (I got frustrated a started pressing the screenshot button randomly so this was a happy accident) and her earrings clearly glint in the light.

Which leads me to going back to earlier in the episode when Steve and Robin have this conversation:

Steve advises Robin to just "be herself", which then goes into Robin making the point that she can't ask Vickie out because it's risky for a lesbian like herself. So clearly, despite it not being stated, what Robin and Steve are discussing here is heteronormativity. For valid reasons, Robin won't make her interest in Vickie known. We see it later in the pep rally:

Steve and his triangle mirror wearing date pass right by on front of Robin and Vickie.

Then we get Robin almost be honest to Vickie and then go back on it:

(also I just noticed that the Hawkins basketball team is literally called the Tigers. They spend all of s4 hunting down the Hellfire club. "The people of Hawkins being the true predators and the UD is just a reflection of its true nature" looks truer everyday. All the animal symbolism in this show is interesting because they literally spell it out to us in s4 that one of the main continuous theme is this concept of a "predator" and how the disenfranchised in society are scapegoated when the true people praying on the weak are those like Jason and Brenner. Abusers, bigots, etc etc. All the owl and tiger symbolism makes sense when you think about it- owls are nocturnal predators and so are tigers, like the UD beings whom we see are mostly active at night.)

Steve and his triangle mirror wearing date are behind Robin and Vickie while they watch Tammy perform, and let me tell you, she is clearly has. a lot of rosemary imagery.

The white and soft pink outfit. The ribbon around her waist. The lacey floral (?) gloves - similar to the wedding dress in the Creel attic. The pearly cross earrings and other pearls on her dress. Blue eye shadow which is more of a Karen-Angela thing I suppose but we also see it with Brenda.

An interesting thing I've noticed is that Steve, Robin, and Vickie joke about Tammy sounding like a Muppet- ie a puppet:

Which I don't need to explain what the symbolism behind a puppet is, but it goes with the themes of plays/performances that already exist within ST (Performing in this silly, terrible play- Henry). Particularly for women who are expected to perform in specific ways: docile, pure, and quiet. Speaking only to regurgitate what someone else is making you say.

Flash forward to Nancy and Robin planning to go to Penhurst and we get another triangle mirror in the ballerina box and the ballerina on front of it also the pink roses on the box itself

Again, the ballerina falls in line with the "performance" theme. A ballerina is a performer, not only that a particular type of feminine performer. Beautiful, graceful, and agile.

Which Robin comments that she is uncomfortable in her "Rose Weaver" outfit:

Which is interesting because you watch Robin get increasingly uncomfortable with the neckline/ribbon itself over her throat as the director talks down to them. Only when Robin stands up for both of them and calls out the directors misogyny (I mean most of what she said was lies but my point still stands), and breaks the performance after Nancy tells her to let her do most of the talking, is when they are able to talk to Victor.

All this puppet/performance imagery reminds me so much of Rosemary's Baby, how Guy Woodhouse spends the entire movie manipulating and deceiving her as if she were a puppet.

Also, random note, but Angela has little pearl like things on her earrings at the rink-o-mania (and blue eye shadow like Tammy and Brenda)

Connor Trinneer And Dominic Keating On “Disrespectful” ‘Enterprise’ Finale And Eagerness For More Star Trek

MARCH 14, 2024 | BY: ANTHONY PASCALE

Two stars of Star Trek: Enterprise held a panel at the ST-SF convention in San Francisco last weekend. Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating covered a lot of ground, discussing some of the ups and downs of the series, their hopes to appear in new Star Trek, and the future of their podcast.

Finale was a “misstep”… wanted more Trip/T’Pol and Section 31 for season 5

After four seasons, Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled, ending 17 years of original Star Trek programming (and four series) that had started with The Next Generation in 1987. Executive producers Brannon Braga and Rick Berman decided to turn the finale (“These Are The Voyages”) into a what they called a “love letter to Star Trek” by bringing in Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis to reprise their Next Generation roles, framing the story. This decision proved controversial with fans, and both actors agreed it wasn’t a proper finale for the series. Dominic Keating talked specifically about how a recent rewatch made him feel:

“I just watched that episode on [Star Trek: The Cruise VII]. I had seen it in times past and it has not bothered me. This time, I have to say it really bothered me… Particularly—and I love Jonathan and Marina—but to see them jauntily wafting around our last episode like nothing’s going on, and it ticked me off. It didn’t in the instance. I guess as an actor, I was like ‘We’re done’ so I was moving on to get another job. But when I look back now twenty years on, yeah it was disrespectful—I think to Scott and to our cast. I understand that Rick and Brannon were wrapping up a very long sojourn of an unparalleled TV accomplishment of 17 years on a variation of a theme. It is incredible. But I think it was a misstep. We should have had a standalone episode to end our series.”

That being said, both agreed they had fun working with Frakes, especially in the scenes when he was playing Chef in the galley.

Had the series continued, both actors had some thoughts on where they would have liked to have gone with their characters:

Trinneer: “I would have been interested to see what kind of relationship that Trip and T’Pol would could have actually had. That would have been an interesting storyline. They were going to try once every seven years to have a baby, so that would have been interesting.” Keating: “That Section 31 stuff was quite fun, wasn’t it? That would have been worth some exploration. I believe they’re actually in Toronto now exploring it without me. And you know, Malcolm was always good to be captain eventually. Good British captain, I would say.”

Ready for more Star Trek… any Star Trek

There were a couple of funny moments when the idea of returning to Star Trek came up. First was this exchange with moderator Ryan Husk…

Husk: I don’t know how aware you are of the new Star Trek shows going on… Keating: We are aware of them. We are legacy, you know. Husk: So the question is, they come knocking on your door or texting your… [simultaneously cutting him off] Trinneer: Yes! / Keating: Yes! [laughing] Husk: Would you be willing to not reprise your roles but play a different role? [simultaneously cutting him off again] Trinneer: Yep, yep, yep. / Keating: Absolutely, keep talking… This is so easy.

Later a fan returned to the subject with a specific idea…

Fan: My question is a follow up… I’ve always thought that the best way to continue an animated series. If Paramount came calling… [simultaneously cutting him off] Trineer: Yes. / Keating: Yes. [laughing] Fan: Where would you like to see the stories go? Trineer: I don’t care. I just want that Paramount check. Keating: Probably in space, but I don’t really mind. Trineer: It could be broken in the shop the entire time. Keating: Animation is fun to do, you can show up in your shorts and tee shirt. Ask the Lower Decks people.

That time Bill Gates came to the set

When asked about funny or strange things that happened on set, Connor recalled a specific visit.

“Early on in season 1, I was taking a nap in my trailer and a PA knocked on the door and said, ‘Bill Gates is here.’ I was sleeping and I was like, ‘Who?’ ‘Bill Gates, he wants to take a picture.’ And I was like, ‘Can I stay in my robe?’ And I did.”

Both agreed that the billionaire founder of Microsoft didn’t care what people were wearing: “He could not be happier.” So if you’ve ever seen the picture of Bill Gates on the set (below), now you know why Connor is in a robe.

Future of their podcast

Two years ago, Trinneer and Keating began The Shuttlepod Show on YouTube, which mostly featured the pair interviewing various Star Trek guests. In December, Keating announced he was leaving the show and last month Trinneer did the same. The subject of the future of the podcast came up a couple of times during their panel and Keating gave some context as to what is going on:

“As you know The Shuttlepod Show—let’s address the elephant in the room—has had to go away in its current iteration for Hollywood reasons. But we are talking about bringing it back. I think we’ll be back within six to eight weeks or something like that. So please watch that space… It was just untenable in its current status, that’s as much as I can say. But I hope you can forgive that and come and support us again when we reemerge like a phoenix rising out of the ashes.”

Later on, Keating indicated that details on a return have to be worked out.

“This weekend is going to be the first weekend we’re talking seriously with some people. Whether or not we come back? We’re not sure. [Connor injects: Wait and see] Yeah, wait and see. It would be sort of different. I’m not sure what we’ll call it right now. We might call it something different.”

el & mike, robin & steve parallels

please tell me if this has been elaborated on more bc i can’t really put my thoughts to words. i've been rewatching s3 and kinda thought that steve and mike are similar as i watched steve want to be the hero and protect robin but “failing” (idk if that's the best way to put it but she's always like the brain, the one who figures stuff out and i feel like that's who steve wants to be)

mike + el and steve + robin parallels have been pointed out specifically with the shared music that plays over robin’s coming out and the milkvan confession scene (at the end of s3) but maybe there’s more there

i kinda started spiraling during the scene in ep6 after steve and robin fall after trying to get the scissors and robin brings up high school. she’s talking about a shared class and how she was obsessed with steve and how he never even noticed her. there could be some connections made with how mike idolizes el (also the character parallels can be switched around, i don't feel like this parallel hinges on them having a set character) BUT the part that sparked my attention was all the talk of wanting to be normal, and how all even when they try to be above, all losers just want to be normal and accepted. steve then goes on about how it’s not all good and that all the things the world tells you should matter is just bullshit

and now im going to exit my parallel kinda bc his next line can be connected elsewhere. “but i guess you have to mess up to figure things out, right?” i feel like this foreshadow mike’s arc really well, especially with what we saw in s4. he’s fucked everything up with el and will, specifically because of what the world has taught him to believe, but he has to. he would never be able to understand himself and his relationships without realizing what doesn’t work

there could also be an argument made where this parallel continues into s4 with will entering the picture as nancy (and robin kinda?? its not like a direct thing still) robin and steve know what they’re relationship is, nancy pushes them together because thats what she thinks they want

but then you could switch el and will around because robin’s pushing makes nancy consider a relationship with steve again (st*ncy does not deserve rights); i think after their fight, mike and el know where they stand (broken up, just friends) but will’s meddling has mike make his big confession and think that he needs this relationship

anyway, very sorry for the rambling, please please please elaborate on any of the ideas listed, i would really love to hear someone smarter talking about this

[kmze]

When stefan said 'I'll get Elena out of my life & get my own life back"(4×18),itfelt like he was yearning to be detached from the triangle BS and when asked specifically about this scene,Paul said he wanted Stefan to have a story of his own outside of MF because he felt Stefan worked better when he was not with the gang.Then he could return & see where his relationship stood with Damon & Elena.I think the writers should have gone with this.I mean yes at this point PW didn't know how far they were gonna go with DE and Plec was still talking about SC on open-ended terms.But I think Paul was probably the only cast member who had some say about his storyline.Early s6 jerk Stefan was probably all Paul's idea and he even admitted mechanic stefan was his pitch.A season's arc or half a season's arc as Special Guest Star on The Originals would have been great for him.At the beginning of tvd s5,even Candice was interested in crossing over.Although I wonder in that case if anyone would have stayed back to watch tvd. lol. (1/2)

2/2) I also think,if tvd was indeed commissioned to be a six season show then the decision to continue beyond s6 without Elena was on the producers,network and the actors who renewed their contract because all of them wanted the show to live even after Nina didn't change her mind.But then they continued to cater to the elena fandoms and actively sabotaged the last two seasons.They had the choice & opportunity to end the show on a high note instead of that ridiculous mess:the brothers sacrificing,elena becoming a doctor and maybe a flash forward of Caroline and Bonnie sitting on a beach at St. Tropez freed from all MF nonsense.

Well the actors all had six season contracts when they signed on, then after six seasons the actors decide if they want to renew or not. Nina didn't want to renew and the others wanted to stay on, I mean the show is not just Nina it's not even just the actors and producers there's hundreds of people who work on the crew, writing staff, production staff etc. All those people are not millionaires like Nina and shouldn't lose their jobs because she wanted to explore other things. I also think people give Paul too much credit for the schtick he does acting like he doesn't care about the show and doesn't remember anything at these cons because it's like whatever man. He's the first one signed up for these conventions and he's got a bourbon line based on the relationship he built with Ian on the show and being brothers so I don't know why people buy his "woe is me" act. While S7 is a mess it's not my least favorite season (that honor goes to S5) and the second half of that season was entertaining, I enjoyed it a lot more on rewatch. I mean from a SC perspective they got tons of great stuff I just think people care way too much about SV and CA since both were just filler props. And S8 was great for SC especially the first half, why would I not want to have two proposals, a wedding, I love you forevers and all the domestic stuff. For Bonnie as well even if I don't really care for BE that's a great ship for Bonnie and she deserved to have that love story.

Hi! What's your favorite season of stranger things, and what's your favorite episode overall (from any season)?

my favorite episode by FAR is dear billy. im rewatching the fourth season with my friend rn and we just watched that one today. running up that hill is my favorite st scene ever. max is my favorite character and i really love that shes the center of undeniably the best scene of the entire show. i sobbed my eyes out when i first watched it. their song choice is fucking perfect for what max is going through. “i’d make a deal with god and i’d get him to swap our places” and then max later admitting that she wished she died after billy did?? AAAH!!! and just what they did to that song to make it more epic and orchestral oh my god its so fucking perfect. now im listening to that version because its so good.

the way that entire scene plays out is perfect. the ticking sounds when they go back to the real world where the guys are trying to find the tape, a portal to the real world opening when the song plays, her lifting in the air right at the chorus!!! THE FLASHBACKS!!!!!!!!! her running to a portal as everything is falling on her god ITS SO SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! that scene alone would be enough for me to call it my favorite episode ever but its not even just that.

theres also the one take shootout in cali which is SO well done and so impressive i love that they did it all in one take its so fun to watch. i love mike and wills talk about mike losing him and wanting to be a team. i love hoppers escape. everything about that episode is so perfect. but obviously running up that hill is the biggest reason its my favorite.

as for my favorite season its really hard for me to decide between 2 and 4. i always said 2 was my favorite before 4 came out. but not for byler reasons, i just thought that was a really good continuation of season one. its hard for a debut season to be that amazing and successful and somehow top it with the second season. i loved the whole lab plot and the demodogs and i love that will is the center of the entire season.

but season 4 hawkins plot is really fucking good. if we’re talking about whats going down in hawkins alone i’d probably say 4 is my favorite but the other plots kinda takes up more time than i wish. like s2 its still kinda divided but its all hawkins. i kinda wish the russian plot was shortened or at least joyce reunited with hopper earlier.

i think im gonna say 4 is my favorite season tho. i love how much more horror the whole season is, i LOVE how they had so many call backs to the first two seasons like showing how will talked through the lights and bringing back past monsters like the og demogorgan and demodogs in russia. i like that el was more independent. i obviously love all byler’s moments, but also lumax!!! i feel like s3 they barely showed them but i love how they wrote them this season. its just a really good season.

also unpopular take but i hate when people say they hate the last episode when they obviously only say that bc of the monologue. like ok DID YOU NOT SEE THE EPIC SYNTH VERSION OF RUNNING UP THAT HILL TO THE MONTAGE OF EVERYONE BATTLING VECNA MILES APART FROM EACH OTHER??????!!!

Farscape rewatch - Losing Time, 3x09

Losing Time is a lovely ep I like (don’t I say that about almost all of them, though). I love that you never stop believing that both Moya John and Talyn John are ‘equal and original.’

And Moya John is going stir-crazy insane. John displaces his anxiety over Aeryn, his loneliness and missing her, into his obsession with wormholes. He displaces it sideways, to take his mind off. Makes sense to me. The crew should be grateful there is Aeryn in the world because otherwise obsessive Crichton would probably take over everything in the world :D Heck, he is still wearing the same shirt she gave him, days later. She gave him the shirt to distinguish him and it’s so symbolic because for him, selfhood is tied to Aeryn, she is the arbiter of real. (And he clearly has anxieties of whether he is a copy, see this ep. In a way, it’s a blessing John is already severely damaged by the time of the twinning. He has so many complexes and issues, one more, even a very severe one, won’t break him, he can just try to put it aside). I also really love the scenes on Scorpy’s command carrier, his new research facility. (Continuity, I love you!) This is where we first really learn about the Scarran threat (want to bet it was Scorpy who told Scarrans PKs have wormhole weapons, because he thought he could get them, and now must put his money where his mouth is). So here he is, studying the chip. I love how even the ‘bleed-over’ John is argumentative and opinionated and stubborn. Of course, if Scorpy was different, he would never have had that problem. When he got John on the Gammack Base in S1, if he’d only told him something to the effect of ‘OK, you are a spy. I will give you the tissue sample, and get Crais off your back, and help you use wormhole to go home, but you have to work in my research facility,’ John would have jumped at the chance (heck, he gave data to Furlow earlier). But to Scorpy, there is either subordinates or superiors, and utter abasement/domination. He doesn’t see others as autonomous beings. It took him years to see John that way. Hmmm, what else. I love Jool here, first time: scared and defiant and helpful. Quasisex with energy rider is funny. D’Argo rocks. St. John crack always makes me LOL. Good ep, obviously.

I didn't really consider r/nance the first time I watched the show so my first introduction to the ship was canon interpretation and for a long time I was super onboard. So when I started writing a long slow burn st/ddie fic starting pre-season 1 I figured I'd throw r/nance in there since I liked it at the time and I tagged it as background and eventual, but then I rewatched the show and nancy sucks at relationships in general and tends to be condescending to Robin in particular. It's obviously framed as jealousy since she thinks she's with Steve.

Idk I feel like the duffers did want us to view Robin as being, like, Nancy's first real regular (as in nonromantic) friendship since Barb and she's getting over her trauma, yay. And that's where a lot of it came from in the fandom, Nancy being pleased that Robin considers her a friend "officially." Also like "they're friends! That confirms compatibility!" Not really? The duffers really don't want to address Nancy's cheating because there are so many aspects of Nancy that I think Robin would not be able to get over if she knew about. That in particular. All of Nancy's negative traits are, in the show, portrayed as girlboss so the duffers never want to address them (and also those traits can sometimes be inconsistent to fit the girlboss image the duffers are trying to push; they just kind of change her character when it doesn't work for her narrative)

Anyway, I had tagged this fic already and now I'm having to go way out of my way to write a character arc for her. Like, even going in though I was like "r/nance is cute but Robin would never date her knowing she'd cheated on Steve" so an early correction I made was to make it so they'd already broken up when she got with Jonathan (also I made Steve and Jonathan friends between seasons so I don't think my version of Jonathan at that point would have been complicit) but that was the only problem I saw with the ship when I started writing and then i rewatched the show and it's becoming a huge problem from a practical writing standpoint and I hope my followers appreciate all the effort I'm putting into her arc because I'm never writing r/nance again

hey, at least you’re giving her a character arc instead of just ignoring all her flaws! which is the method the duffer brothers decided on! and if your readers don’t appreciate all that extra work i will. improving r//nance plot lines one fic at a time! and honestly good on you for continuing to write it, if i was you i’d just orphan it lol

but yeah, totally agree on all your points about why the ship wouldn’t work, and why nancy as a character is just bad in relationships.

also i totally do that all the time. read fics and decide i like a ship, and then rewatch the show and realise it’s so shit lmao

(Name) stared out the window with their chin propped on the palm of their hand boredly as the teacher continued on about some chemistry problems and their equations written on the board, his back turned on the students. Their mechanical lead pencil twirled lazily in their fingers, a low sigh going through their nose. The young skater stopped listening to the lecture a few minutes ago. Class was already half an hour in. Their mind had long abandoned the subject of today's lessons, swimming down a path of old memories as their eyes stared at the passing clouds. It was a windy day. Their boyfriends mentioned doing some more skill practices after school during their lunchtime for one of Langa's upcoming races with one of the known skaters in the underground group which both boys refused to let (Name) in.

Although (Name) really didn't had any intentions of joining in the S organization. They weren't one for racings or competing against others. They had seen the injuries both Reki and Langa received. It broke their heart seeing their boys be cover in bandages. Such injuries brought an old childhood memory of theirs.

Back when they first started skating on their own, they would be cover in band-aids themselves after spending hours upon hours on learning how to ride a board. After an hour of struggling to step on the board without sliding off from it and earning themselves a scratch on one of their palms or knees, (Name)'s mother would bake them their favorite treat, a plate of warm, delicious blueberry muffins with a glass of milk beside it. Just from the thought of it in their memories made their mouth watered.

Before their mind wander further into their memories, the last bell of the school day rang throughout the whole building. Students begun to pack their stuffs while the teacher remind them of their lessons and their homework for the night, (Name) taking their time as the rest of their classmates rush out to hurry home.

Bored (colored) eyes looked at the school building as the owner stood beside the gates. They waited patiently for their boyfriends to meet up with them at the gates, as they promised during lunch. Squinting their eyes, (Name) saw a mop of baby bluer hair bouncing slightly as Langa ran up them with a determined look on his face.

"(Nickname)!" Langa called out as he reached them, his signature skateboard in hand while the other held his bookbag. "Ready to go? Reki said he would catch up to us later at the usual spot. One of his teachers held him back to get him back on track on his assignments." He explained. (Name) mouthed out an 'oh' as they nodded.

"Ah, I see... I imagined it was the English teacher, huh?" They said, shaking their head when Langa nodded. Though, they didn't mind starting on the training without Reki, (Name) wanted to hang out with both their boys. "How about we wait for Reki st my house? Besides, I've been thinking about making some blueberry muffins. We can make some together and eat them when Reki comes over." They suggested, looking at the other skater.

Lanha stared at his partner, a clear look of a debate going in his head.

"Okay." He answered after a moment of silence.

(Name) grinned and took his hand in theirs, intertwining their fingers as they led the way to find a grocery store.

It was getting close to evening. Reki had texted to the trio's group chat about coming over to (Name)'s house. Thankfully it was a Friday night, having the whole weekend to spend it over at their house while going out to get some training done. Langa and (Name) spent the rest of the time until Reki came back from school gathering the ingredients and measuring them up. From preparing the batter, to mixing the berries in to baking the muffins and letting them cool down after taking them out of the oven.

The duo heard furious knocks coming from the front entrance of the house. (Name) gestured to Langa to stay in the kitchen and place the muffins on plate as they went to check who was at the door. Their eyes beamed when familiar face grinning back at them.

"(Nickname)!" Reki announced, already wrapping his arms around the other skater. "Aah, I missed you!" He said, nuzzling his face against their shoulder. (Name) laughed as they returned the hug and patted his hair.

"It's only been a few hours after school, Reki." They said, chuckling at the cute pout the boy gave after pulling away from the hug to look at them.

"Still! It felt like days." Reki commented, moving away inside the house to let his partner close the door behind them. "Where's Langa? Didn't he came home with you?"

(Name) nodded over to the kitchen before heading back to it with Reki following behind. "Yeah, he did. We stopped by a store to buy some stuff to make my favorite muffins." They answered, grinning lazily when they saw Langa tried to keep a small pyramid of blueberry muffins together on the plate. He wore a concentration look on his face, little bit of his tongue stick out with his brows frowned down their forehead. "Langa~, Reki's here."

Cutting his attention away from a muffin falling down the top of the food pyramid, Langa stood back up with a smile. "Reki! Look, I helped (Nickname) made their favorite muffins." He said, pointing at the muffins with a proud smile on his features. Reki chuckled and nodded, walking over with (Name).

"It really does look delicious."

"Right! I hope they taste as good as my mom had done for me."

"They're cool down, so let's try them."

With Langa's suggestion coming into actions, each skater grabbed a muffin and took a bite into the treat.

"Ooh... They're so good!"

"Really? I think they're second to my mom's."

"Tastes sweet like you..."

Silence grew over the trio as Reki and (Name) looked over at Langa and his comment. Right in the exact moment after the comment left the blue-haired boy's lips, a rudy shade blush decorated (Name)'s cheeks.

"L-Langa, dude! Don't say such corny shit!" (Name) whined, pouting as they covered their face after putting the muffin back on the plate, growing flustered. Langa smiled as Reki laughed loudly.

"Haha! He's not lying, though!" Reki said, pulling their hands away. Once his partner looked at him, Reki stole a quick kiss from them. "See, you do taste like blueberry muffins, so sweet!" He teased, grinning at the other skater's face continued to burn from the teasing.

Witnessing the teasing, Langa huffed and took (Name) by their chin and made them face him, planting a quick kiss, too, surprising them further more as their flushed face grew heated one last time. They sweared they looked like a ripe tomato if the tease continue further. "Hm... Sweet..." Langa muttered, smiling at his partner. Reki grinned, nodding in agreement.

"Oh my gosh..." (Name) whispered under their breath, covering their face once more. "You guys are so corny..." They sighed, smiling a little as their heart fluttered against their chest. (Name) was glad to met the two boys. The duo always know how to get under their skin with the teasing and the affection. They don't mind it, though. It always brings a smile to their heated face and make their heart flutter in love.
